My Absolution

My Absolution

Ignored cries

Where were you?

Supposed to love me

Instead its only hatred you spew

Oh how you fake it

Saving face

Out in the world

The real you is erased

They speak your praises

Never understand my anger

They don’t know

How many times you’ve put my life in danger

In my naivety

I worshiped the ground you walked on

The child’s innocence

The false paragon

You did so much damage

Your fists hurt me

Your words hurt more

Felt those repeatedly

The ultimate betrayal

The disposal of my trust

It has been years

And I can only feel disgust

What I will never understand

Is how you felt entitled

To build me up and tear me down

My never ending shame for the glorification of a false idol
